  • Dark Crème de Cacao0.75 oz
  • Chocolate Liqueur0.5 oz
  • Heavy Cream0.75 oz

Pro Tips

  • Use Godiva Chocolate Liqueur + Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao together — the combo has depth that either alone lacks.
  • Drizzle the syrup inside the glass with a toothpick BEFORE pouring — that's what makes the swirl visible.
  • Under-shake — too much dilution and the chocolate tastes like watery cocoa.
